Recalls- Headlight adjustment caps. Recall 22V656000 affects 222,858 vehicles with missing caps covering the low-beam headlight adjustment screws.

- Gear selector bushing. Recall 19V446000 involves 99,665 vehicles where the bushing attaching the gear selector lever to the gearbox can degrade and detach.

Porsche will replace the shifter cable bushing free of charge. Until repaired, use of the parking brake is advised.
- A/C blower control unit. Recall 19V322000 covers 33,206 vehicles with potential water intrusion into the A/C blower control unit causing electrical short circuits.
